Alright, been a while. I moved and have been running around, not cooking so much, but we’re back. Tonight, I don’t have much in the house, so here’s what I gave a shot. I’m calling it “North African” Rice because, well, you’ll see. It’s vaguely rice-pilaf, vaguely couscous, and since I’m using cinnamon and honey, maybe a little bit, I dunno, Ethiopian?

Recipe:
Throw it all in sauce pan, with a bunch of water (2 times deep covering the rice-ish). Boil until rice absorbs the water and is puffy, stirring frequently. (I had to add a little extra water at the end because the rice wasn’t cooked.

Do a little ‘makin’ rice’ song and dance. Tweet about that.

Let it cool, ‘puff it up’ and serve.

The Verdict:Delish! The raisins are great. More next time. (Rice a little undercooked still because I’m lazy and don’t measure.)
